Heart scans may predict survival in rare amyloid disease
NCT ID NCT04392960
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 30 people newly diagnosed with cardiac AL amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal proteins damage the heart. Researchers used advanced MRI, echocardiogram, and PET scans to see if these images could predict survival and show how well chemotherapy works. The goal was to learn which imaging measures are most useful for tracking the disease, not to test a new treatment.
